About Sons of Ignatius

In the words of Pope Francis, there is no discipleship without mission. In this podcast Fr. Niall Leahy SJ talks to Jesuits and fellow labourers in the vineyard to talk about all things Catholic, especially the questions, issues and challenges we face as missionary disciples today. We also draw on the life and writings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, who dedicated his life to serving Christ and inspired others to do so.
